There is a 'malfunction' during embryonic development, which can form a complete or partial vaginal septum, also known as 'double vagina'. Patients often have no abnormal sensations, will not cause menstrual blood stasis, and most have no effect on sexual life, so treatment is not necessary. Surgery may affect sexual life, and transseptal incision can be performed.
